The steering wheels are used to set the ship’s heading by means of driving potentiometers that are connected to the rudder control system. The rudder function can also be performed by an azipod drive rather than the traditional rudder.

The mounting plate’s size can be either 144x144, 192x192 or 270x270mm. The size of the actual steering wheel is fixed. Dial illumination is standard, in the 270x270mm version emergency pushbuttons and a miniature electronic dimmer can be integrated. The steering wheels have been type-approved by the leading classification bureaus ABS, BV, CCS, DNV, GL, LRS, NKK , RINA and RMRS.
